The Angry 9 is AN/GRC-9, an improved version of the WWII SCR-596.  I know 
we used some on our boats early on but later we mainly used Navy TBS-12s on 
the mother boats and PRC-10's on the "little boys," which could communicate 
with the TBS-12.  I was always amazed that I could talk loud and clear with 
the commo shack on Wolmi-do from Paengnyong-do area using a PRC-10 at night 
and often during the day.  That was a hundred miles plus.  Of course that 
was a direct, over-the water shot and the antenna on Wolmi-do was pretty 
well up on the hill.
